Met Office: The extended forecast

UK outlook for Saturday, January 26 to Saturday, February 9:

"During the last week of January and into early February, there is an increased likelihood of cold weather being established across all of the UK.

"This would bring a greater risk of snow, ice and widespread frost, particularly across northern parts of the country.

"However, there remains uncertainty over the extent of the cold weather and how long it will last, and it is still possible that some milder and wetter interludes will intersperse this generally cold period, especially in the south."
